A method to construct overhead view images using multiple fish-eye cameras

Abstract

In recent years, safety technologies of cars are becoming important and the cases that cameras are mounted in cars are increasing. Since the perception of the distance of a usual image is difficult for drivers, method to construct overhead view images and assist drivers are proposed. In this paper, we propose methods for estimating camera parameters of multiple cameras and construct overhead view images with small errors. Effectiveness of the methods is examined by experiments.
